Happy Friday! O N E If you're reading today (especially on desktop) you'll see my blog underwent a little redesign! I also have a special page we're still working on that I can't wait to debut - stay tuned! I decided to change my Wordpress template so that the menu would be above my blog header and also tried to visually simplify as much as we ...

Where to Buy the Best Ginger Jars Online
Over the years, I've grown quite a diverse collection of ginger jars. It's to the point where Harper recognizes them at Home Goods and says "hey mommy, you should get that one!" I love using ginger jars in nearly every space of our home. The blue and white patterns are so crisp and they're such a classic way to decorate and add visual interest ...
7 Tools I Can’t Live Without at Home
Keeping a clean and clutter-free home is important to me. Though I don’t always accomplish this goal, I have a lot of tools and strategies that help us stay on top of things (caveat: most of the time). Since Kevin and I both work full time outside of the home, have two children, run this blog and have a slew of other home-related responsibilities, ...
Master Bedroom Update and Design Boards with Oyster Creek Studios
It’s a pretty great day when you open your inbox to find design boards from Aryn at Oyster Creek Studios. Rewind to earlier this summer – I hired Aryn to help me with our master bedroom. It has always been the most neglected space in our home and I was ready to have the grown-up, completed bedroom of my dreams instead of a room that constantly felt ...
Home Updates
Lately I’ve been so determined to finish spaces in our home that it’s all I can think about! Other than the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I haven’t been browsing clothing much…I’m all about home décor sites at the moment. I’m currently getting quotes to shiplap a wall of our master bath (more on that later) and to replace our home’s stairs leading ...
A White Lace Dress + Joy Box Flowers for Mother’s Day
This white crochet lace dress immediately drew me in when I saw it online. It's so feminine and I love the longer (midi) length. It's currently on sale for under $70 and comes with the slip that goes underneath (I'm wearing the s/m). I'm always so pleased with the quality of the items I get at Chicwish -- I know it can feel risky to order online ...
Friday Five
I feel like I haven’t done a real Friday Five in forever – but I pulled it together this week to get some updates going. O N E I shared on stories recently that I’m going to be working with an interior designer on our master bedroom. I can’t truly say I’ve ever loved our master bedroom in any of our three homes. It’s always the space that gets ...
Our Playroom Reveal!
When we were house-hunting while I was pregnant with Lincoln, one thing that really sold us on our current home is that we’d have a dedicated play space. When we toured the model, we couldn’t believe how large the game room/play room/bonus room was. Though it has slanted ceilings since it’s technically a finished attic, it has a ton of natural ...
Opalhouse at Target
One of my readers reached out to me a couple of weeks ago asking me if I had checked out the Opalhouse line at Target -- opal what?! So of course her note piqued my interest and it was love at first sight. This line is Anthropologie meets Palm Beach and I just love all of the pieces (once again, Target, just take all my money). I'm sharing with ...
Moving to Houston? Consider this Beautiful Community
This post is sponsored by Bridgeland, all thoughts and opinions are, as always, my own. Over the years, I’ve gotten quite an abundance of emails and messages about moving to Houston from many of my wonderful readers. As you all know, I moved to Houston in 2007 after having lived in a suburb of Toronto, Canada for 20 years of my life. To say it was ...
